Gerald Posner: Karzai's brother has no CIA ties

The author of the book Case Closed, supporting the official theory that Lee Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy, resurfaced less than a week ago after quitting his Daily Beast job amid allegations of plagiarism.

In a letter to the New York Times dated August 23, 2010, Posner, who begins by stating "I represent Ahmed Wali Karzai," defends Hamid Karzai's brother against allegations in a New York Times' editorial to the effect that Ahmed Wali Karzai is involved in the opium trade and has ties to the CIA.

So it's official. Karzai's brother has CIA ties.
